Those slippery apostrophes again!It's generally unnecessary to use "utilize" because "use" works in it's place
The first It's (for It is) is correct; the second one (for the possesive) is incorrect.
Just thought I'd wander into this thread and probably make my own typos, which someone else can then shoot down in flames!

Any other good examples?

A girl I work with drives me crazy every day.
She'll yell out "Hey, I seen you yesterday"
Does not know the difference between "can" and "may"...
Uses double negatives all day long...and things like 5 minutes ago "You don't gotta do that that way".
I swear...I am going to choke her.
She is also the office tattletale. God help me.

I can't stand it when people add an "'s" to business names. Yesterday I overheard a woman say this into her cell phone while shopping:
"I'm at Target's right now."
Other's I've heard include:
Belk's
Wal-Mart's
J.C. Penney's
But my favorite was when someone referred to their cell carrier as "Sprint's."

I always hate it when people from outside of Illinois pronounce the "s" at the end of it. Illinoize is not our state name. Whenever I hear it, I say "The S is silent like the P in swimming"!
